Combination heavy-duty fiber.

Forta Ferro combines 2 types of fibers--a 100% virgin copolymer and a 100% virgin polypropylene--in a monofilament/fibrillated network to provide high-performance concrete reinforcement. This product also reduces plastic and hardened concrete shrinkage, improves impact strength, and increases

fatigue resistance and concrete toughness.

Recommended applications include industrial floors, bridge decks, shot-crete, and loading docks. The fibers are non-corrosive, non-magnetic, and 100% alkali-proof. Forta Corp. 800-245-0306. www.fortacorp.com. Booth 2822. Circle 22,
